With the college football season nearly a month away, we'll count down the top-12 Big 12 games for the upcoming season.

The criteria for the countdown is as follows.

-Games must be between two Big 12 opponents. Games like LSU v TCU are excluded from this list. -Talent on the field isn't the only factor. Entertainment, oddities and recent history factor into the list as well.

10) Texas v Baylor Date: December 7 Prediction: Texas 48 - Baylor 45 Reasoning: Floyd Casey Stadium's final game will come against the Longhorns and it'll be a much needed home game for the Bears. A neutral game against Texas Tech, then road games against Oklahoma State and TCU are brutal tests for the Bears in consecutive weeks and ending the season with Texas won't make things any easier. The trio of Longhorn running backs will bee too much for Baylor's defense to handle and the Bears won't nearly get as many offensive possessions that they're accustomed to getting.
